Homemade Halloween



Halloween is here ~  Time for homemade treats!  This year at our house there's a wacky Halloween cake and decorations in orange and black.  Pumpkin carving will take place tomorrow.  From years past, I have fond memories of Halloween costumes I made for my daughter.  One year it was a Dalmatian dog outfit, another, a witch costume, complete with cape and pointy hat.  Now that she's all grown up and on her own, Halloween is a quieter time, but none-the-less a fun time of year!

A Visit to Our Local Zoo

 






Going to any zoo comes with mixed feelings for me.  Loving animals as I do, I enjoy seeing all of the zoo residents, but it's always so sad to see animals enclosed and not roaming free in their natural habitats.  I think visitors help relieve boredom for these beautiful and amazing, captive animals. The animals are in small areas that rarely offer enough stimulation ... so, as we look at them, they look back, and, perhaps, they too enjoy these close encounters.
